B3SC2PE Yamaha Polished Ebony Silent Acoustic Upright Piano
The introduction of the Yamaha B3 to the B series range sees it approach professional standards. In addition, remaining true to the b series' design philosophy of value and affordability. This is a B3SC2PE Silent piano featuring a CFX & Bosendorfer sound source, allowing you to continue that enjoyment after everyone has gone to bed or the neighbours are home. Produced at a Yamaha factory in Indonesia from a scale design developed in Japan, the b Series pianos are Yamaha‚'s most affordable entry-level uprights. Although reduced production costs allow budget-friendly prices, Yamaha makes no compromises in the materials and workmanship that go into these exceptional uprights.
Why Choose a Silent Piano?
There will be times at home when the deep resonant sound of an acoustic piano is not always appreciated. You might find you are disturbing a neighbour or family member or just simply worried about being listened to as you practice a new piece of music. This is where a silent piano is the perfect instrument to choose. Firstly you have the beautiful sound and touch of a real acoustic piano to enjoy when you can. Then simply plug in a set of headphones and switch to silent mode and you can keep on playing, listening to a beautiful top of the range digital piano sample. As a result, early mornings, late nights or family watching TV all become a thing of the past with the ability to practice in silence. This is without doubt the best of both worlds.
Here is how it all works
Key sensors
Under each of the 88 keys is a Yamaha-unique continuous-detection grey-scale shutter key sensor. These sensors detect the movement of the keys continually, allowing natural musical expression even when the piano is in "Silent" mode. They don't affect the feel of the keyboard in any way as they don't come into contact with the keys.
Two World-Renowned Piano Sounds You can play SILENT Piano SC2 type with the voices of CFX, Yamaha's finest concert grand piano, and Bosendorfer's legendary Imperial. Sampling all 88 keys produces a hugely impressive result. As Yamaha‚'s flagship grand piano, the majestic CFX boasts a wide palette of tonal colours, from sparkling high notes to powerful bass tones. The legendary Bosendorfer, meanwhile, is renowned for its sonorous and rich Viennese sound.
10 various voices
SILENT Piano SC2 type offers total 10 pre-installed sounds such as electric pianos, harpsichord, organs, strings, choir, and synth pad, allowing you to select the ideal voice to match your preferred musical genre. Headphones Simple and compact headphones that come with SILENT Piano SC2 type let you enjoy professional-grade sound quality.
Built-in recording and play back functions
SILENT Piano SC2 type can record one song in the internal memory. Additionally, connecting commercially available USB memory to the unit allows you save recording data, and play back songs.
Colours
Supplied in Polished Ebony finish as standard. Also available in the following colours: Polished White, Polished Mahogany, Polished Walnut, Open Pore Dark Walnut Satin, Satin Natural Cherry and Polished Ebony with Chrome Fittings. Stool supplied has black satin legs, black vinyl top and opens for some storage.
What we say about the B3SC2PE:
The Yamaha B3SC2PE produces a much more professional tone with greater dynamics and a very round tone. These qualities are brilliantly achieved while still staying true the the b series philosophy of quality and affordability. In addition the silent system on this piano really does mean you can play either during the day or at night. This is the perfect combination to allow you to keep the peace at home when required.
